S. ‘Alucard’ – “Prince of Darkness” 
This is a select S. ‘Alucard’ (S. flava var. rubricorpora x ‘Royal Ruby’) created by Phil Faulisi is looking quite crispy this time of year. This monster puts on a brilliant show of deep red large pitchers in the spring averaging 3 feet tall or more as you can see here. However, by the time fall rolls around, this prince is reduced to royal phyllodia.
